How To Buy Men's Jeans That Fit - Understanding Denim - Waist - Rise - Inseam - Style - Boot Cut

When I was in the US Navy we wore dungarees. They were plain-styled bell bottoms, but they were comfortable. The reason why we wore bell bottoms was in case the ship sank or we fell overboard. You can take off the jeans while still wearing boots, so we would then use the jeans as a life preserver.

This is what YouTube lacks. Straight to the point no bs vids with no gimmicks. Just raw knowledge and information. I love how you are uncut, no editing, or crazy tricks. Just all natural and I respect that the most. I prefer to make my vids the same.

These videos are very good. Because certain people for one reason or another never really learn how to "dress" and meaning there's no book/guides for these type of things and that it is more of an "art" verses something you can read up in a manual, these videos are a life saver for many of us! :)

Hi to everyone. I´m a guy from Madrid (Spain), and what I´ve seen in Antonio´s videos is that, no matter where are you from, his advide is useful all around de world. There´s no need to be from USA. Why is that? very simple, because his advice is dealing with classical ideas and not with todays fashion and trends. Thank you Antonio. You are a crack!!!

I am 32, slim and have always worn straight high waste jeans with longer rise. I never let fashion prescribe to me what I should or should not wear. I wear jeans that suit me. Your talk about different jeans styles is informative clear and professional. Thank you so much

Finally! I have the hardest time finding jeans, seems like every company has different sizing and cuts, so annoying.

I've found that the quality of jeans has dropped DRAMATICALLY over the last few years. Jeans that I used to buy at Old Navy (please don't judge) that fit and fit well a year ago, now don't, and I'm the exact same weight I was. The problem now is that the whole "skinny jeans" trend has taken hold, and we're ALL suffering because of it. Designers are making jeans that only fit emaciated Euro-hipsters, and nobody else.

This reminds me of the 70's and 80's, when everyone was making jeans skin tight because of disco, and it was impossible to find a pair that fit well, or even at all. I didn't wear a pair of jeans all through the 80's because of that.Looks like history is repeating itself.

This is going to make me hate shopping for jeans a lot less!  I was getting tired of trying to figure out what everything meant.  Thank you.

You have a great presentation style.  Informative & professional.  All of your videos are the best I've seen.

As I watch your videos, I see a HUGE improvement in video editing, etc over the years. I may never meet you (I live near Indianapolis), but you've helped me SO much. THANK YOU !

3 Million subscribers! Well deserved Antônio, you and Sven completely revolutionized the way I present myself to the world. You're a legend!

I live in the UK and I know exactly what you mean that different makes of jeans fit entirely different. I usually shop at Gap, H&M, Next, John Lewis and M&S. All of these shops are reasonably priced. A Levi 502 regular taper fits me perfect 34W 34L. Keep up the good work I follow all of the men’s style guys on YouTube 👍

God bless you! i suffer from perpetual plumbers crack and i never knew why. i simply could not find jeans that came up high enough. all this time ive been buying "low rise" jeans that only go up so far, all because i never knew the difference. your videos and artofmanliness articles are a blessing

Hey Antonio, I started to buy " Advanced Comfort Cowboy Cut " they fit me the best. Looking the best on me anymore, for the longest time I've worn the regular relaxed fit. Noticed that they're really baggy from my legs downwards . As I've watched ur channel it's helped me look much better ( shirts boots, jackets etc ) for the women in my life etc even though they are a little more expensive than most jeans that you'd find at Walmart etc But it's worth it seeing & hearing compliments from the women in my life etc especially when I wear a nice shirt with my boots and my cowboy hat as well

What he says is so true! Shopping for trousers is very confusing. You also need to take into account whether you intend to wear trousers or jeans with a belt or not. If you want to wear them with a belt then they should be slightly loose around the waist. Slightly looser trousers will also last longer as there is less strain on the seams and on the fabric itself. While tighter waisted trousers will look good but will wear out faster because of the strain you put on the seems and fabric.

I used to wear slim fit jeans. But now I go for either the regular or relaxed fit jeans. I'm a slim guy, but I've come to realize that I prefer a somewhat baggier fit, because they're just more comfortable to me and look better. I see my friends going around wearing slim and skinny fit jeans because it's "cool" and "trendy" or whatever, but I don't buy into that. I think slimmer fitting jeans look better on women than on guys honestly

Very helpful. Thanks Antonio. I'm a tall, slim/fit guy, 6'2'' at 175ish lbs. I think I got lucky and happened to buy slim fit bootcuts back in high school and realized that it was the best look for me. The flare at the bottom helps hide that my skinnier shins, but because they're slims, my thighs aren't swimming in them. Also, with bigger feet, tapered or slim (vintage straight) cuts make it look like I have clown shoes, but boot cut hides more of the shoe, minimizing the effect.

Dear Sir,
             I had a factory making jeans especially to suit Stockmen & Road Train Drivers in Outback Australia. They were all 15oz stretch denim, I made the block & graded it myself, sewed the first 1, 000 pair on my own. I purposely made them with a low front & back rise, because sitting in a saddle all day tends to give you a bit of a belly, so the waist fitted under the gut. The other reason for Stretch Denim is you also sweat a lot in the outback. My 16oz denim jeans were good, but if you are soaked in sweat they cut into the old crown jewels, stretch stops this.
Cookey, Australia.

First point you talking about. Waist size. I fit into 38 levi, 40 wrangler and 42 in other brand. You are correct about this confusing buyers.
